Episode 10 - Our Brains Are Full

Well friends you’ve made it to the last episode of the first season of Stump the Librarian! Join Courtnei and Emily, with a little help from Jill, in this episode as they tackle three questions that may or may not have us a little stumped (but not for lack of trying). Tune in to hear how robots work, what the scientific process is, and just how fast the universe is expanding (if at all). If you have any questions about the questions answered you can email us at stumpthelibrarian@kdl.org. We’d love to hear from you! 

If this is your first episode of Stump the Librarian, don’t you worry, our friendly neighborhood librarians will be back in January answering your inquisitive questions every other Wednesday. In the meantime, you can listen to our previous nine episodes and see if it’s possible to stump a librarian! And while you're at it you can submit a question via kdl.org/stump for our next season! We would love to hear what questions are on your mind. Don’t forget to subscribe to our podcast via stumpthelibrarian.podbean.com/ or wherever you prefer to listen, so you never miss an episode.
